Week 5 - Online Presentations
Well, we have officially crossed the half-way mark for the course!!
I haven't received journals from a few of you...if you could please make a habit of submitting them on a weekly basis (by Tuesday), it would be appreciated.
In terms of your portfolio, you can continue working on the items listed last week...and, if you have time, start on #17 and #21.
This week, the course content is online - view these audio presentations (you need your speakers on):
Mastery Learning
Integrating Testing and Teaching
Differentiated Instruction (**Optional - this presentation is optional...but you may find the importance of teaching in differentiated manner to provide some insight into providing varied assessment options for learners - i.e. we can give learners options of completing an essay, a project, or some other option to communicate that they have mastered the key concepts).

Reading...Week 4
This week, we will continue exploring different methods of evaluation. Our exploration of true/false items last week will be augmented through this week's exploration of multiple choice, short answer, portfolio, and essay items...as well as a focus on learning outcomes and standards.
Reading: Overview of Key Evaluation Concepts. This file is best viewed as a resource that you can refer to when you are completing items in your own portfolio. It doesn't make for smooth, sit down in one session, type of reading :).
